Innovative thinking for advancing the teaching and learning agenda in Australian Higher Education institutions requires

research to determine what has gone before;

knowledge of government priorities;

an understanding of what might be missing and

careful consideration and planning on how to meet the needs of all stakeholders.

This forum will present a range of perspectives on the current teaching and learning priorities with representatives from the OLT (government); industry (ACEN) and higher education forming an expert panel.

Facilitator: Professor Keith Trigwell, Professor of Higher Education in the Institute for Teaching and Learning (ITL), University of Sydney

This workshop will give participants an opportunity to use a range of tools and activities to review their teaching objectives and strategies. Participants will determine, with guidance, appropriate methods to measure the impact of their teaching and collect evidence along the way.

This workshop will enable participants to critically evaluate their own ideas and plans for grants in light of previous research and the teaching and learning priorities. Time has been set aside so that guest speakers can provide feedback to participants in relation to their grant writing and ideas.
